Nobody’s There To Answer Call For Help
Budgets could leave states unable to respond to EMP event
WND
WASHINGTON – There is growing concern that major budget cuts and significant work-force reductions will mean states may not be prepared to meet looming emergencies – such as a massive solar storm that could shut down power, energy, food and communications.
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration has issued warnings that this year and next will be the peak of the sun’s 11-year cycle in which a direct hit on earth from a solar flare could cause catastrophic damage to the electrical grid and all unprotected electronic components.
According to NASA, the effect of such an event could cost up to $2 trillion in the first year, affect some 160 million people – or over half of the nation’s population – and take anywhere from four to 10 years to recover.
Critically, emergency communications of first responders could be jeopardized, hindering those teams’ ability to respond to calls for help from people who will need food and water supplies, among the basics.
Concern over the lack of preparedness came as the U.S. Congress failed to fully fund those states affected by Superstorm Sandy, which hit the Northeast. Many jurisdictions still are reeling from the damage.
The lack of full funding of the originally requested $60 billion to Congress for Sandy-related damage may be indicative of the increasing inability of even the federal government to respond to emergencies on any large scale
